We should demonstrate the economic and political unity in the run-up to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory.

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenka said as he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev in Astana on 20 March.

“It is clear that in the run-up to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory we should stay together. There are too many challenges; there have been attempts to rewrite our common history. Therefore, in the run-up to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory we should demonstrate the political and economic unity,” Lukashenka said.

Lukashenka emphasized that every year brings new challenges. In his opinion, the time shows that the Eurasian Economic Union was created in time. “The union is not only the declaration of intents. We have passed a lot of documents, formalized the union by singing a number of agreements. We must respond to these challenges within the framework of our union,” he said.

Lukashenka urged to remember about other members of the union. It is essential to propose new development options to them.
